TRAVELING AGAIN… (therefore the studio is closed)
I have not even finished unpacking, yet I have packed my suitcase back again. Yap, on the road again. I will be back on April 7th.
The first quarter of this year happened to be the busiest travel quarter I have ever had. I feel like I am never in New York and always lacking sleep. But, no complaint! It is such a great opportunity to go visit schools and design organizations, meet students and aspiring illustrators, and exchange info with working designers and illustrators around the world. So, thank you, thank you thank you.
But, after I am back, I am not planning on traveling out anytime soon! So, friends in New York, don’t forget about me!
